^ agreed, their twitter feed's a blast

I saw them at Manchester Cathedral the other night - what a venue! It was amazing but I had quite a miserable time as I had terrible sinusitus. I had a prime spot but was sneezing so much that I had to move to the catacombs as I think everyone around me was freaking out that I might be a Covid superspreader.
He's very dedicated to their Twitter, even liking my Tweet praising the gig. Last time they played he told me what a song was I had enquired about. I hadn't even tagged them in that so he must have been searching for mentions. I wish i could muster as much Twitter enthusiasm / dedication.

it might have been even better at a more MBV-like volume.
not sure what the volume was there but it was just right for me. i spent decades being in the if it's too loud you're too old camp but last time i saw MBV changed my mind. they were stupidly TOO loud.
― stirmonster, Sunday, 1 May 2022 00:03 (two years ago) link
Meh. I had the covids a couple of weeks ago and I'm still coughing too much to go to a show. Oh well.

*sighs, prepares interdict and articles of excommunication* Well perhaps I overreact.

Too loud sucks, unless it's too loud through sheer acoustic power

Hello from The Chapel,
We're writing to inform you that our show with Low on Tuesday, October 4, 2022 has been rescheduled to Friday, March 31, 2023.
All original tickets will be honored.
Well shit. I wonder what caused this postponement - the band just recovered from covid and is still touring yes?
― octobeard, Thursday, 5 May 2022 00:26 (two years ago) link
About the reschedule of fall west US dates:-We have accepted a very kind offer to do dates with @dcfc durring that time.-it’s rescheduled later, most tickets still valid. -Just couldn’t get Vancouver to fit the rerouting, sorry. (Not about Covid.)-Still w/ @dividedissolve !— LOW (@lowtheband) May 5, 2022

Are they doing a 10 min guitar freak-out version of Nothing But Heart?
― that's not my post, Thursday, 5 May 2022 15:11 (two years ago) link
Not in Hackney, it was the same length as the album version, e.g. about eight or so minutes

awww no songs from Double Negative? alas

Uhh look again, octo (though it's not one I would expect)
― Vinnie, Friday, 6 May 2022 08:42 (two years ago) link
This array of songs does contain one of those tracks, indeed.
― StanM, Friday, 6 May 2022 09:22 (two years ago) link
;)Seems like they played the same set yesterday in Amsterdam. What a fucking amazing show. Divide and Dissolve were awesome, too
― willem, Friday, 6 May 2022 09:36 (two years ago) link
Ahhh missed that. Sweet! That was an amazing performance when they played it at Primavera in 2019. Very much looking forward to this show. Perhaps they drop one or two more Double Negative tracks in the encore.
― octobeard, Friday, 6 May 2022 20:09 (two years ago) link
Saw them for the first time. Great concert, great rendition of Hey and others, hearing the album live made me appreciate it anew.
― Nabozo, Saturday, 14 May 2022 09:31 (two years ago) link
hey, I just walked around the perimeter of Rock the Garden and there's a good & close view of the smaller stage from outside. probably gonna walk back for Low at 7:45.
― sloop johnnin' skater (geoffreyess), Saturday, 11 June 2022 22:52 (one year ago) link
oh yeah, this was great. five from Hey What, plus No Comprende, Plastic Cup, Canada ("did you ever think we'd still be up here after all this time, doing a clap-along?"). I was under a tree full of wind chimes, they should record an album with that tree. Low shows tend to contain at least one of the coolest things I've ever heard, this time it was the whole second half of Price You Pay.

wait, was it previously announced that Mimi's been fighting cancer?
― Murgatroid, Monday, 15 August 2022 16:16 (one year ago) link
I had no idea.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 15 August 2022 16:21 (one year ago) link
I don't think they made an official announcement before, but when they did the live shows from home during lockdown she was sometimes absent from those, so I think people knew something was wrong.
― lord of the rongs (anagram), Monday, 15 August 2022 16:24 (one year ago) link
i believe she mentioned it in a radio interview earlier this year - don’t have a source handy but i think it’s linked upthread somewhere

Whenever she was gone, or Alan was doing something else, I just figured she was doing family stuff.

:( unfortunately advanced ovarian cancer doesn't have great long-term prognosis. hope she can beat the odds.

absolutely dreadful news, best of luck to them, hopefully mimi will successfully recover

It's been some years for me since I saw them last and while I had hoped to see the Double Negative tour that wasn't an option due to some surgery I had around that time. That's small potatoes to this and now my selfish wish to see them again is because I just want her to make it through this.
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 15 August 2022 22:19 (one year ago) link
Have to say I got a little choked up listening to “Don’t Walk Away” tonight— something about it radiates the ‘despite everything i love you more than anything’ vibe that happens with your person. I really hope Mimi is in good hands and has a full recovery.

Very sorry, y’all. Mim is in a pretty fragile state and it’s just not possible to perform or travel for now. https://t.co/IWwKn6CKRC— LOW (@lowtheband) September 12, 2022
― global tetrahedron, Monday, 12 September 2022 19:28 (one year ago) link
Aw, that's bad news. Hopefully she's getting the treatment she needs, even if that's what is keeping her from playing.
― Josh in Chicago, Monday, 12 September 2022 20:14 (one year ago) link
They just cancelled the UK and Europe dates in November. Send your positive thoughts and energies Mimi’s way.
― broccoli rabe thomas (the table is the table), Friday, 7 October 2022 11:59 (one year ago) link
RIP Mimi :(
Friends, it’s hard to put the universe into language and into a short message, but She passed away last night, surrounded by family and love, including yours. Keep her name close and sacred. Share this moment with someone who needs you. Love is indeed the most important thing.— LOW (@lowtheband) November 6, 2022
